Calgary 70.3 Race Report- (From Chris Corbin’s Perspective)

I bring a fly rod to every race. I’ve even caught a blue fin trevally on the fly the night before the world championships in Kona. Although some races fish better than others; Calgary and the Bow River is one of the best. I was crushed when this race didn’t show up on Linsey’ s original 2010 race schedule. Luckily, some strategic talk (begging) made Linsey a late entry for the Calgary 70.3. Here’s how it went down:

Wow. Where the heck did I go?

On a mid-season break, that is where! Earlier this year I decided I wanted to race all the way into November again. I knew a mid-season break would be in order to make this happen. Working with the Matt Dixon plan, he works us hard, but rests us hard as well. The rest is key to making me a faster and better athlete. It also frees up time to enjoy all that summer has to offer in Montana.

I have had a few weeks to reflect on my special day at IMCDA.

Unfortunately, I got pretty sick after the race. Last week I took one for the team and got on antibiotics. It was rough. Rather than enjoying myself post-Ironman, I spent the 4th of July laid up in bed. Leading up to the race I had day dreams involving the river, enjoying icy-cold Big Sky Brews in a can, camping, sunshine. None of this really happened :(.

It still doesn’t seem like that’s me - Ironman Coeur D’Alene Champion! I only slept a few hours after the race and when I woke up I had to make sure it was true - looking at the photos from the paper to believe it. I thought just finishing an Ironman was an adrenaline rush. Let me tell you - winning one takes it to another level. In my finish-line interview, I told the crowd it was such an awesome feeling that everyone needed to win one!

Tomorrow I will be competing in my ninth Ironman here in Coeur D’Alene, Idaho.

The last time I raced here in Coeur D’Alene was actually the first for me. It was my first race as a professional. It was my first ever Ironman. It was 2006. My only real goal for the race was to run the entire marathon. Lucky for me, race day temps were in the 100’s. I stuck to my guns and my ability to have a hard-head and managed to run my way from 20th off the bike to a respectable 6th place finish and a ticket to Kona.

Racing in Boise over the weekend was a complete bonus for me.

Early in the season when plotting my race schedule, Boise was at the top of the list. So was Ironman Coeur D’Alene… I guess you could say I love the neighboring state of Idaho. I didn’t want to compromise the Ironman, so I opted to race in Kansas and do the traditional 3-week taper for IMCdA. Kansas came and went, and I was a bit let down with my result. I knew I could kick it up another notch. Post-race in Kansas, Matt Dixon surprised me with a text message with the words *BOISE 70.3* in it and I was grinning from ear-to-ear.

Its been a wild two weeks for Linsey Corbin!

Not one to shy away from fear, pain, challenges and stiff competition I spent the past two weekends racing the two reigning world champions in two half-Ironman events 5 days apart. Each race presented itself with a unique story to share - so we will take this one entry at a time.

It’s been a fun week to be in Montana!

Over the weekend I participated in my once annual bike race. It was a blast and lived up to true bike racing in Montana fashion. The women’s field was small, so we got to race with the Cat 4/5 men - which ended up being a lot of fun. The nearly 60 mile road race covered 2 significant climbs: Flecher Pass to 6,000’ and then the final climb to the Great Divide ski hill. This was Montana racing at its finest with a dirt uphill finish and hail in your face
